Ignite revealed some clear directions Microsoft plans to take with the future of work. But questions remain. What gaps in functionality will SharePoint 2016 address? And what does this renewed commitment to on premises SharePoint suggest for the cloudy future? What new capabilities in Office 365 hope to change the way we work? Join us today to discuss these questions and more during our What's Next for SharePoint and Office 365 Tweet Jam.

The Jam kicks off at 10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT / 1700 GMT today so be sure to join in using the #socbizchat hashtag, through our chatroom or through Cover it Live below. As always, the broader CMSWire community is welcome to take part.

The Experts

While everyone is welcome to join in, the following practitioners will be on hand to keep the conversation flowing:

The Questions

What does the SharePoint 2016 announcement say about the state of on premises SharePoint? 1.b And how does it fit in Microsoft's mobile-first, cloud-first strategy?

What strategic gap is Microsoft trying to address in this new SharePoint implemention?

What does the future of collaboration in Office 365 look like, and what tools will play the biggest roles (and why)?

How does the continued push to the cloud (or hybrid) effect the third party ecosystem formed around SharePoint?

How does the closing gap between consumer and business apps (a la One Drive) effect end users? Does it end the illusion of work-life balance?

What announcements excited you the most at Ignite? What didn't you hear that you were hoping to?
